Files are in chronological order.","The first meeting of Falls Church Garden Club was held in\n Madison School Auditorium on Friday, April 21, 1950 with 20 people in attendance. A planning\n committee was appointed, met within days, and presented a “standard garden club constitution\n with a few alterations” to the May membership meeting. According to Article II of the\n Constitution the objective of the Club is to “stimulate knowledge and interest in gardening\n and horticulture and to promote horticultural improvements in the vicinity.” Records show\n that the Executive Committee and Club each met monthly and presented a Fall Garden and\n Flower Show annually. From 44 club members in 1950, the club membership rose to 161 in\n December 1951 and waxed and waned through the years. In memory of past presidents, books on\n garden-related subjects were purchased and presented to Mary Riley Styles Public Library.\n Annual dinners and picnics were always a part of the club’s activities. Tours of member’s\n gardens and regional gardens occurred regularly.","A box and envelope of Falls Church Garden Club Yearbooks (Series 9) can be found in FCHR\n compact shelving at VaC 635.06 F. This grouping is in generally better condition and more\n complete than the Yearbooks in Box 3 but is missing Yearbooks from 1984 and 2005. It is\n quite possible that Yearbooks were not assembled those years. ","There are two subject file folders on Falls Church Garden Club containing flyers and\n booklets for various Annual Flower \u0026 Garden Shows, newspaper clippings, and other\n miscellaneous items generally all dated from 1950-1999.","Most records are from 1950-1970 except The Seedling which is\n complete through 2006 and a few issues each year from 2008 to 2011. The Yearbooks are through 2003 but many years are missing. There is an additional and\n more complete set of Yearbooks on the shelf at VaC 635.06 F but note that there is no\n Yearbook from 1984 nor 2005. The yearbooks contain lists of officers, membership contact\n information, a calendar of club events and more. There are no photographs in the\n yearbook.","The most informative view of the Club can be found in the three scrapbooks that cover the\n organization from 1946, before the club was officially formed in 1950, until 1975. In the\n scrapbooks there are annual reports of subcommittees, club flyers, photos, news clippings\n and more.

This 248-acre tract was patented to John Trammel by Lord\n Fairfax in 1729. John Trammel's property descended to his son, Sampson, and then to\n Sampson's daughter, Susan Pinnit Cloud. A John Mills bought the property at auction in 1833\n for $2,537.60.","Circumstantial evidence indicates a residence on the property by 1840 when a building\n assessment of $200 first appeared in county tax records. John Mills whose name is listed in\n the 1840 U.S. Census for Fairfax County was the most likely occupant.","Augustine Newton bought the entire tract in 1843 and a year later made an agreement to sell\n 66 plus acres to William Harvey. This is the parcel of land we know as Cherry Hill Farm\n today. William Harvey is believed to have built the present-day farmhouse in 1845.","This was a highly speculative period for Virginia land. Northerners were drawn to Virginia\n by cheap land prices. Harvey paid $665.00 for the 66-acre property in 1845. After declaring\n bankruptcy, he sold the farm to George Steele for $1,950.00 in 1848. In 1856, William\n Blaisdell of Massachusetts purchased the property for $4,000.00 and moved his young family\n here.","In 1976, as the nation celebrated its 200th anniversary, there was a renewed interest in\n historic preservation. The City of Falls Church chose the restoration and preservation of\n Cherry Hill Farm as its special bicentennial project. It was a cooperative effort between\n the City and community groups. While the City owned the land and buildings the Friends of\n Cherry Hill Foundation was founded to furnish the house and barn. Extensive research and\n time went into acquiring appropriate furnishings for this Greek Revival style house and\n mid-19th century barn.
